    Read them one at a time and give yourself time to think about them. Some of them won't seem so far fetched as they did in '08. I wasn't even thinking Obama when I looked at your post and I see some gaps closing.

    Anyone on the left and right who thinks violence is the answer to our problems are just too stupid to actually think problems through and come to rational solutions, so they throw tantrums like the angry little children they are. Social media and the left and right affiliated “news” media has turned their brains into angry little piles of slime.

    Actually my information comes from doctors and pharmaceutical professors on non MSM European sites since those sites are not censured. This is why there are such massive protests in Europe - which of course aren't mentioned on our sites either.

    Anyway they are not vaccines, they work on a different principle and no one knows what the long term affect might be. These things have to be tested for years, but with Covid they were rushed through. Yet the medications that would have saved the lives of people sick from Covid, weren't made available to the public.

    No far left media or disinformation? I agree social media makes it easier. But look at the Civil War. No social media in the 1850’s and 60’s and a good percentage of Republicans and Democrats got pretty violent.

    Just who are the "true Americans"??? And who decides who is a true american"........from another type of American??

    The fissures really do run deep now...

    Violence has become second nature in this country now.....And there is no "UNITED" left when ti comes to America.

    Name them? The is much more radicalization on the far right, simply much more. You should ask yourself why that is? Is the far right simply more susceptible to mind control or is it the victim mentality and ego or both?

    Paul Gosar(R) thinks its funny to joke about killing AOC, and apparently his base approved.

    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responds after Rep. Paul Gosar shared a violent anime edited to include her: 'This dude is just a collection of wet toothpicks'

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...ction-of-wet-toothpicks/ar-AAQtuoZ?li=BBnb7Kz
    On Sunday, Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona tweeted an edited anime scene depicting a character with his face edited on it using two swords to slash the back of the neck of a large character featuring Ocasio-Cortez's face. He included the caption "Any anime fans out there?"

    The tweet had surpassed 3 million views as of Monday night.

    "A creepy member I work with who fundraises for Neo-Nazi groups shared a fantasy video of him killing me," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. "And he'll face no consequences bc @GOPLeader cheers him on with excuses." (The @GOPLeader Twitter account belongs to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.)

    If course a large percentage of Americans think violence is the answer. That is the USA brand after all.

    Violence has always been second nature to some and it's that way in all cultures. Where societies get into trouble is when boundaries stop being understood and respected.

    I don’t know. That’s why I’m asking. I don’t know who the players are on either side anymore because I simply don’t care that much. I hear people on PF complain about people like Tucker Carlson and Rachel Maddow and some I can’t remember names of.

    But on PF the only people I’ve had wish death on me are not Republicans. I’m not surprised the split of Republicans to Democrats that believe violence may be necessary is 30%/11%.

    Why? Because historically Republicans have been over represented in professions such as military and law enforcement. Not because they are more violent but because they are just willing to take action themselves whereas Democrats would rather have violence done by others on their behalf. If you asked the poll question “is violence by the state necessary to save the US” you would get reversal in the statistics. In short, I think the difference is just in the willingness to act on one’s beliefs as opposed to farming out those actions to others.

    That’s how I see it as someone who loathes both parties and doesn’t play the news/commentator/social media game.

    One reason we can't come together as a country is that our definitions of radical don't match up.

    I have been following Tulsi Gabbard and she says things about unifying the nation that make a lot of much sense.

    i

    It is because the left runs roughshod over the legitimate complaints of conservatives and simply insults them when they complain. Look for much more radicalization and violence as you suppress dissent.

    Keep the faith, the radicals already failed once and Trump ain't paying their bills.

    This is what people say when they really want others to believe something is true, when it may be or may not be. Take "real life," do you really believe you have spoken to 30% of all Republicans in your real life? Regarding social media, do you really believe most people are on social media on politics? Either you are attempting to convince of something that may very well not be true, or you are willing to believe anything!

    There are times when only violence solves the problem.

    So 30% of 26% of Americans?
    That's 7.8% right?
